Does android voice command work?

Tuesday 14th of June 2011 / talkandroid.com
I have been trying to figure out how to use this voice command by google. No matter what I try to do, the ONLY command that works correctly is when I tell it to call a certain number. If I say "call bob smith" it does not understand and goes to a web search mode. I think this is a waste of time if it does not do as advertised. I can't use the TEXT mode, the EMAIL mode, or any other mode. All of my phone contacts have the little google symbol next to them. I'm thinking that it means that they are synced with my google account, but when I go to it, they are not there. Do my contacts have to be in my gmail account before this can work? Has ANYONE ever gotten this app to work, and if so, HOW?

Does Android work slower with time?

Sunday 23rd of September 2012 / forums.androidcentral.com
Hey. As we know, when we use Windows on our computers and install and remove programs, work on it for a year or so, it start working slower and slower, errors often pop up, etc. Does Android does the same? I mean let's say I install 20 different apps and then I remove it..... Does it affect the system? Like in Windows we have to clean the registry manually to get it of the leftovers of removed apps, does Android do the same? I'm asking cuz I was trying with various apps and now after a while of installing and removing them my phone seems to work slower (or I'm just having such a fake feeling from Windows experience)... Do you ever do hard reset which is an equivalent to a format of PC....? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Android Central Forums

How well does android work for audibooks?

Tuesday 03rd of November 2009 / androidforums.com
With the droid phone coming to Verizon i am thinking about getting rid of my iPhone 3GS. The one thing i love about the iPhone is always having my audibooks with me, and the fact that the book remembers where i left off. Does android offer any kind of audiobook support? I don't mind converting things to a needed format. And how's the music player overall? Do i need to use a library, or can i just play the files directly? I loved that capability of my rockboxed iRiver.

Does Android/Google play work well in Europe?

Sunday 21st of July 2013 / androidforums.com
My wife and I are Americans living in Europe. We are in the states right now and we are looking at getting a TF300 tablet. We are thinking that it would be really helpful for ebooks, magazine subscription, etc., and would help us to not have to lug books across the ocean in our luggage. I am not really keen on the Kindle due to it being locked down Android. Would a TF300 work ok in Europe? Could I use Google play? Or at least download ebooks, etc.? If anyone has any experience/insight in this area I would be thankful for any input.Thanks.

What if your phone is locked? Does Android Wear still work?

Monday 14th of July 2014 / forums.androidcentral.com
I cant seem to find anything about this --- Does the watch work if your phone has a password lock on it? My company makes me lock my phone with a password before I can use it. I have a Droid MAXX and if I try to use google now, it will "work" but then it will say " Please unlock your phone to continue". Will I get a similar issue with the Android Wear platform if I want to search, send text messages, get my emails, etc? Or does the bluetooth link remove that limitation/lock

Does Android Wear only work with Google Apps?

Monday 08th of September 2014 / forums.androidcentral.com
So for text messages, do I need to be using Hangouts? And do emails only go to the watch if it's a Gmail? I just got a 360 today and I'm a little concerned about this. I use the stock messaging app with my Moto X for texts, but I get no notifications on the watch when I receive a text. Do I need to switch to Hangouts? And I use the stock mail app for work email (Exchange). Those don't pop up either, but messages via Gmail do. How do I work around this?
